My future mother-in-law called me and asked me about my wedding gifts. Her friend (who we invited to the wedding) wanted to know if we wanted something off our wedding registry or if we wanted something a little bit 'different' as a gift. When I asked my MIL what her friend meant by 'different' she said 'oh, like a nice peice of pottery or something....'

My response was "Tell her I appreciate the thought and that she doesn't have to get us anything but if she wants to, I'm really picky about what I put in the house..." My MIL said 'oh, okay.' but I got the impression that I might have offended her.

Did I step over the line instead of accepting the 'something different' graciously?

i placed 1 elodea leaf in each solution and looked at them through a microscope. the solutions were 5% sucrose, distilled water, and 4% NaCl. naturally, the chloroplasts in the sucrose solution were still spread out indicating that it was hypotonic. in the distilled water the chloroplasts were spread out indicating it was isotonic. the chloroplasts were clumped together in the NaCl solution indicating that it was hypertonic.

question: discuss the differences between these 3 slides; propose an explanation relating to the differences between NaCl and sucrose such as molecular weight or permeability; propose an experiment to test your exaplanation and expected results if your hypothesis is correct.

All these posters accusing Diane Feinstein of funneling money to her husbands firm URS, apparently don't know that URS is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Richard Blum doesn't own that company.

But wait a minute. Wasn't URS one of those Defense related Carlyle group companies?

What about EG&G?

Wasn't George Bush part of the Carlyle group?

It's true, these guys posting this story are shills for the republican party and don't even have a clue as to what they are talking about.

The question is, What do you think of these posters who are attacking Diane Feinstein on this issue?

Senate OKs war bill with Iraq timeline By ANNE FLAHERTY,

Senate Democrats ignored a veto threat and pushed through a bill Thursday requiring President Bush to start withdrawing troops from "the civil war in Iraq," dealing a rare, sharp rebuke to a wartime commander in chief.

In a mostly party line 51-47 vote, the Senate signed off on a bill providing $123 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also orders Bush to begin withdrawing troops within 120 days of passage while setting a nonbinding goal of ending combat operations by March 31, 2008.

The vote came shortly after Bush invited all House Republicans to the White House to appear with him in a sort of pep rally to bolster his position in the continuing war policy fight.

"We stand united in saying loud and clear that when we've got a troop in harm's way, we expect that troop to be fully funded," Bush said, surrounded by Republicans

Last night, I dreamed I was a prince on a white horse, galloping through an enchanted forest protected by a witch's magic. I met the witch's fair daughter and we instantly fell in love. We rode out of the forest, with the witch hot on our heels. But as long as I had my horse, we were unharmed by the witch's magic. It was a long chase. Suddenly, my horse sprouted wings and took off, taking us high up into the sky. Just when we thought we had outsmarted the witch, a thunderbolt struck us, injuring my horse's wing. We fell to the earth, and she snatched my lady-love from me. I searched for her frantically and battled the witch to the death. When she saw that I was losing my foothold, my lady-love intervened for me and she was killed by the witch. She died for me. Then, along came my horse. She lay down beside my lady-love and she talked, telling me to cut open her chest and take her heart which I did. When she died, my lady-love came back to life. And right beside her was an enchantress

Matthew and Mark agree completley in who they are. Luke has one name different than Matthew and Luke, while John is quite different from all three. Matthew and Mark do not have the name Judas son of James, but do have the name Thaddeus which Luke does not have. John does not list all 12 but adds the name Nathanel that is not in any of the other gospels. Please show support for your answer.

I just read this quote from one of the recently captured UK soldiers, addressing the UK Parliment:

"Isn't it time to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future?"

Now, I am an American, so I could be off. But to me this does not sound like something a coalition soldier would say, not in the least. What are your thoughts? Genuine, or really from the mouths of the Iranian government?

I've heard it debated a lot, but let's backtrack...is it important? If it is, and they do go to Heaven, shouldn't we offer every child the chance to be aborted? Wouldn't that be our duty? And if they don't, shouldn't America try to limit infant mortality, at least to the point that other industrialized nations have achieved, instead of spending money on nuclear arms? But maybe we just don't care if babies go to Heaven...I don't know.

I am looking for a couple of books by Êsa Abd Allah Muhammad al-Mahdi, but so far have been turning up dry. I could be spelling the name incorrectly; but those who know h.i.m. will know whom I seek.

Anyone know?
